FWIW: Tomorrow is another "big day" in the QAnon theory, and Congress has cancelled its session after receiving threats of an attack from a militia group. Several Twitter users are claiming to be in DC and preparing for "something" along the lines of a repeat of 1/6.



I sort of wonder what the next day Trump will definitely be inaugurated will be after tomorrow comes and goes and Trump is still in Florida

Maybe it'll become "Congrats on your second inauguration President Trump! Can't wait to visit the new US Capitol in Palm Beach!"

QAnon in June 2024:

"Just wait guys! Trump will be inaugurated and take office again on July 4, it's the symbolic date!"

I feel like if we make it past the 2024 election with no new developments, we should try to pull the "no review once the next play has started" line, and just make it an argument about Bottlegate if that doesn't work. If there's anything that unites all Americans, it's hating on the NFL for a game that happened 20 years ago.

Almost like Trump holding a rally and goading people to action on Twitter on a specific date made a big difference on whether or not there was violence, more so than just crazies talking amongst themselves in obscure conspiracy forums.

Yeah, at this point I'm good reducing the NG presence pretty dramatically. Maybe not all the way to zero, but there's no reason to keep DC in post-January 6th mode unless there's a specific threat.

Well worth a watch. About a 9 minute video synchronizing police radio traffic with footage of the riot giving a pretty clear picture of how protesters broke through on the west front of the Capitol.

The government’s long-standing theory in the case is that the extremist group came prepared for violence on Jan. 6 and stashed firearms just outside of Washington, DC, which they could easily access via a “quick reaction force” or “QRF.” Until this week, though, prosecutors had shared little evidence other than text messages that referenced a special force. Wednesday’s hearing featured the government’s most comprehensive presentation to date that such a plan was at least partially put into action.

Dozens of people are charged with assaulting police during the riots, but the Oath Keepers case is one of the few that include specific allegations that rioters had planned for violence and specifically made arrangements to have access to guns in DC, where firearms are generally restricted.

Prosecutors filed a brief earlier this week alleging that Kenneth Harrelson of Florida was recorded on the morning of Jan. 7 at the Comfort Inn Ballston in Arlington, Virginia, rolling a luggage cart with what appeared to be a rifle case; the hotel is less than 8 miles from the Capitol. Harrelson is one of 12 people affiliated with the Oath Keepers who have been indicted on charges that they conspired to interfere with Congress’s certification of the election.

Department of Justice
Prosecutors say surveillance video from a Virginia hotel shows Kenneth Harrelson with what appears to be a rifle case.

During Wednesday’s hearing — where the government successfully argued to keep Harrelson behind bars pending a trial — Assistant US Attorney Jeffrey Nestler said the evidence didn’t include images of guns, but that investigators had studied the footage from the Comfort Inn and believed it showed Harrelson and other members bringing out weapons the day after the insurrection.

Nothing says "coup arms stash" like the Comfort Inn.

Since we're about to hit 200 pages, I think it might be a good idea to start a new "January 6th legal proceedings" thread, since it looks like any new "DC unrest" will probably be a whole new phenomenon.

Anyways,
